I'm a long time Ticket P1, and listening to the Klatt segment for a few years now, he is very complimentary of the A&M fan base, he has said for years, we deserve better than the product that the administration and the coaches (at the time) had put on the field. He always ended up being vindicated in his criticisms of A&M when we fell short of our expectations but met his.
Until we actually win the conference, make the playoffs, win a playoff game, etc. the guy is simply going off of our proven track record of mediocrity. BAS is a real thing for a reason, and like many of y'all, I have tremendous hope for the rest of the season, but what do you want him to praise at this point? We haven't actually won anything, and the Notre Dame game was another example of hyped up expectations that failed to produce. We are all super excited about the prospect of what the remaining 4 games hold, but true, elite tier programs, expect to be in this position in the first weekend of November. I hope that we have finally taken the steps forward to get into that tier, but at this point, everything Klatt has said is totally fair.
In the last 25 years, we are 184 and 127 with 0 conference championships. Compare that to Texas Tech at 177 and 136 with 0 conference championships. That's a 7 game difference in wins, over 25 years, that's basically identical records. Neither team has a 60% winning record. Until we have success on the field to prove him wrong, its tough to have much of an argument. You may not agree with him, but based on the last 25 years, he is not wrong.
